THE SUNDAY TIMES NO 1 BESTSELLER * ONE OF NME's BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF 2021 * ONE OF VARIETY'S BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF 2021 * INCLUDED IN AUDIBLE'S BEST OF THE YEAR LISTSo, I've written a book.Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!'), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.

When Stalin came to power making music in Russia became dangerous Composers now had to create work that served the socialist state and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion In The Sound of Utopia Michel Krielaars vividly depicts Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in a climate of risk suspicion and fear Some successfully toed the ideological line diluting their work in the process others ended up facing the Gulag or even death While some like Sergei Prokofiev achieved lasting fame others were consigned to oblivion their work still hard to find As Krielaars traces the twists and turns of these artists fortunes he paints a fascinating and disturbing portrait of the absurdity of Soviet musical life and of the people who crafted sublime melodies under the darkest circumstances

Music is shaped by the science of sound How can music an artform have anything to do with science Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi fi systems and how the brain processes music Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create record and listen to music Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy which raises a worrying question how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans

What Charles Rosen's celebrated book The Classical Style did for music of the Classical period, this new, much-awaited volume brilliantly does for the Romantic era. An exhilarating exploration of the musical language, forms, and styles of the Romantic period, it captures the spirit that enlivened a generation of composers and musicians, and in doing so it conveys the very sense of Romantic music. In readings uniquely informed by his performing experience, Rosen offers consistently acute and thoroughly engaging analyses of works by Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Bellini, Liszt, and Berlioz, and he presents a new view of Chopin as a master of polyphony and large-scale form. He adeptly integrates his observations on the music with reflections on the art, literature, drama, and philosophy of the time, and thus shows us the major figures of Romantic music within their intellectual and cultural context. Rosen covers a remarkably broad range of music history and considers the importance to nineteenth-century music of other cultural developments: the art of landscape, a changed approach to the sacred, the literary fragment as a Romantic art form. He sheds new light on the musical sensibilities of each composer, studies the important genres from nocturnes and songs to symphonies and operas, explains musical principles such as the relation between a musical idea and its realization in sound and the interplay between music and text, and traces the origins of musical ideas prevalent in the Romantic period. Rich with striking descriptions and telling analogies, Rosen's overview of Romantic music is an accomplishment without parallel in the literature, a consummateperformance by a master pianist and music historian.
